Storytellers and Poets

 

Teddy Roosevelt

T.R. was an American renaissance man - at home in the halls of power and yet enthralled by the natural world. His time in the wilderness was a watershed in the development of his love for this country and its wonders. He was a scientist, a consummate leader, and a striver for excellence in everything he did. His stories of Colorado at the close of the Old West will fascinate, entertain, and enlighten.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helen Hunt Jackson

This unique storyteller keeps audiences of all ages on their toes as she tells stories about local Coloradoans, real and imagined, and engages attendees with accurate tales of local history, songs, witty banter and delightfully entertaining quips through the 30 to 90 minute presentations.

In addition to historic characters such as Helen Hunt Jackson and Katherine Lee Bates, Doris also has Dorathea Thompson, the self-appointed ambassador to Colorado. This character, a gossip, tells stories on everyone and is a fun interactive way to laugh your way to knowledge of this wonderful state.
